New OSB Project In Alabama Gains Permitting
Peak Renewables U.S. Inc. has received required permitting for the construction and operation of a greenfield 650MMSF oriented strandboard plant in Enterprise (Coffee County), Ala.
Last February, the Enterprise City Council approved ordinances to convert a 300 acre property into an industrial property. Shortly thereafter, ACES Consulting Group, on behalf of Peak, submitted the permitting application to Alabama Dept. of Environmental Management (ADEM). ADEM subsequently granted permits for the various development and production processes during the latter quarter of 2024.
The operation calls for SYP logs to be delivered to the site by truck, followed by three rotary drum debarkers and three stranders, two parallel single-pass rotary drum dryers (along with a Biomass Energy System using two biomass-fired combustion furnaces), two blenders for mixing liquid phenol formaldehyde resin and wax emulsion, four-layer mat forming station, multi-opening press, and finishing line.
Exhaust from both dryers would be routed to a wet ESP and to an RTO. Emissions from the press would be directed through an RCO.
Some early work is being done at the site.
Peak Renewables operates an industrial wood pellet facility and cross-laminated timber and glulam facility in Dothan, Ala.
